In haste I didn’t read beyond your suggestion I was selling RH for £4.5m which I needed to correct.
I also need to correct your other assumptions … it was equity that ultimately, we and Delancey put in the club to save it from being wound up. Youi have been around long enough to remember RH was charged to Lloyds, a further charge to a finance house and also Gerson.
Why are you always so critical when my wish and commitment to the club (not just money) has always been honourable. Like you I have given 25 years to promoting the club’s interests.
I didn’t hear from you when the club had better times and they will return … the club has great support and
a return to the EFL is realistic.
If you cannot agree with me then just view matters with an impartial eye, rather than fault in everything, John.
I have put in
bold his delusions,
